It’s that time again, when you update your swimwear. But what do we feel like? Firstly, the one-piece remains a safe bet, as noted by big stores such as Le Bon Marché. (interview)Alberta Ferretti even opened its latest show with black swimsuits worn on top models, all sophisticated and elegant. But you could also opt for the latest on trend styles. (interview)Without forgetting colour, prints or new cuts, graphic and sensual. And why not accessorize them?(interview)Chanel is even proposing a special collection called Coco Beach, composed of ready-to-wear and accessories. Above all, don’t hesitate in finding something new, chose something from a new brand or young designers, our favourite: Livystone, with warm tones and sensual cuts. (interview)Interview with Laurence Dekowski: The first trend is always from the cruise collections and it’s the one piece swimsuit because that allows for more sophisticated, more couture swimwear so in entering the season, the one-piece is still very strong and that’s been confirmed again this year…There are lots of frills on the tops, essentially, not frills on the bottoms but really on the bra shape in particular. On the one-coloured pieces, as with the printed. The ‘one-shoulder’ has been very on trend for a few seasons. For the two pieces on the other hand, the big trend is the high-waisted bottoms and mismatching. Meaning this mix and match, of plain and printed, but also the shape with the high-waisted bottoms and a triangle top for example, that’s something we’ve not seen a lot in the past, it’s only been a new trend in the last few months. There’s also a lot of beachwear, more and more, and there’s lots of dresses which are completely adapted from ready-to-wear but in lighter materials, cotton voile. Lots and lots of new brands, it’s an extremely dynamic and flourishing market. Music royalty free Bandit & Nikit - 2018
